As well as superb attendance, participants found the webinar practical and informative.

Jo Hendrickx from Travel Without Plastic said:

“Hotels that achieve disposable plastic reduction have a lot in common, perhaps most importantly their clear vision of what they want to achieve. “

Nikos Kleftis, Manager of Louis Althea Beach Hotel said:

“The webinar was very constructive and offered us practical examples that we can implement in each hotel to reduce the consumption of single use plastics. It is now up to us to rethink our choices and react.”
